The process · 4 steps

How it actually
happens.

  1. 01

    Genetics & Phenohunt

    We work mother stock from proven Maine-acclimated cultivars and run pheno hunts to lock in the keepers. Groot is a Firestorm-original cross.

  2. 02

    Living Soil

    No synthetic feed. We rebuild soil between runs with composts, mycorrhizae, and Maine-sourced inputs. Plants get their nutrients from the biology, not a salt feed.

  3. 03

    Slow Flower, Slow Cure

    Light cycles tuned per pheno. After harvest, plants hang-dry 10–14 days then jar-cure with daily burps for 3–6 weeks before it hits the shelf.

  4. 04

    Hand-Trimmed

    No machine trim. Every nug touches a human hand. Trim crew is in-house, year-round Bangor team.

Living soil is slow on purpose. Plants get their nitrogen from the worms, not a salt feed. You can taste it.
